Cyber Valley is Europe’s largest research consortium in the field of artificial intelligence with partners from science and industry. The state of Baden-Württemberg, the Max Planck Society with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen, as well as Amazon, BMW AG, Daimler AG, IAV GmbH, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, and ZF Friedrichshafen AG are the founding partners of this initiative. Moreover, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft recently joined Cyber Valley as an associated partner. Cyber Valley also receives support from the Christian Bürkert Foundation, the Gips-Schüle Foundation, the Vector Foundation, and the Carl Zeiss Foundation.

Intelligent systems will become more and more important in all areas of life – as a virtual system on the Internet, or as a cyber-physical system in our “real” world. Artificial Intelligence will be applied in autonomous cars, as well as in diagnosing and fighting diseases, or for carrying out emergency operations which are too dangerous for humans.

Partners

The research network was established at the end of 2016. Its members are the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen, the state of Baden-Württemberg, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the following seven private sector partners: Amazon, the BMW Group, IAV GmbH, Daimler AG, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, and ZF Friedrichshafen AG. Cyber Valley is also supported by the Christian Bürkert Foundation, the Gips-Schüle Foundation, the Vector Foundation and the Carl Zeiss Foundation.

Supporters

The Cyber Valley initiative is also supported by the Christian Bürkert Foundation, the Gips Schule Foundation, the Vector Foundation, and the Carl-Zeiss Foundation.

AboutCyber Valley brings together international key players from science and industry to concentrate their research activities in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Supported through the State of Baden-Württemberg, the Cyber Valley partners will establish new research groups and professorships in the fields of machine learning, robotics, and computer vision in a new research center in the Stuttgart-Tübingen area in Germany. A key element of the project will be the training of up to 100 doctoral students.
